The Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act is a 2017 bill that was inserted as an amendment into a 2019 funding bill for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, as HRC noted.

The legislation is designed not to protect children in need of homes and families – a large percentage of whom are LGBTQ – but to "protect child welfare service providers’ exercise of religion," according to the bill's text.

It would "prohibit governmental entities from discriminating" against a child welfare service provider for exercising its "sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions."

8. We really are in dark times. The US is skidding off the rails, becoming a really freaky place. Since

when should ones particular religion rule. This is so damn absurd, it's hard to even wrap your head around it. Just what is next. Phew, if I were looking for a place to live, the US would slide pretty far down the list.

Also, millions upon millions live in poverty in the US, how often do we hear about them and helping them. Many Americans are brainwashed IMO to accept this shit and crap like it as the new normal. And that, is dangerous.

What many Trumpeters can't seem to get, is that in the big picture they are going to be rolled over too. It's how dictatorships work. I swear, many Americans need to go back and study history, if they even ever did.

11. They're just getting started, and they won't stop until every LGBT person is dead.

12. As the parent of two adopted children, this breaks my heart.

With so many kids waiting to be adopted, to deny those who want to adopt that opportunity based on hate and fear is horrible beyond words.

That fact that my wife and I are straight does not make us good parents - it's the fact that we love our children and want the best for them...and how anyone can say that same-sex and/or LGBT people can not provide the love and care needed to raise a family is not only flawed logic, it's evil.
